Openly gay people yesterday stormed the National Assembly in Abuja seeking for legislation that will guarantee the protection of what they termed their right to determine their sexual orientation.

At a public hearing organised by the House of Representatives Joint Committee on Human Rights, Women Affairs and Justice, the homosexuals also decried moves by legislators to pass a bill that seeks to prohibit and criminalise same sex marriage.

The public hearing was for an “Act to prohibit marriage between persons of same gender, solemn-isation of same and for other matters related therewith.”

Speaking for Queer Alliance, a group in the forefront of agitation for the abolition of all forms of discrimination against homosexuality in Nigeria, a youth, Mr. Rashidi Williams said that homosexuality “which is a private decision does not in anyway impinge on the rights of others.”

“We are law abiding citizens and have not fallen into any problems with the laws. None of us would want to be discriminated against because of our sexuality that we have no control nor have we chosen. It is already a trial to survive the hardship of our nation let alone the discrimination we face as sexual minorities,” he added.

Williams pleaded with lawmakers to look at homosexuals as God’s creations that shouldn’t be discriminated against, just as he urged the committee to discard the bill.

“We believe that we are created by God and do not wish to be discriminated against, we seek your help and appeal to you all to lay this bill aside. We ask that the House of Representatives and our lawmakers work with us to understand the concept of sexuality and sexual orientation through our experiences and not create laws that punish us needlessly.”

Human Rights Watch in collaboration with Global Rights, all with headquarters in the USA also opposed the criminalisation of same sex marriage in Nigeria.

In a joint presentation, the duo likened the bill to one proposed by former Minister of Justice Mr. Bayo Ojo, which according to them would have punished with imprisonment not only “the registration of gay clubs, societies and organisations, sustenance, procession or meetings” but any “public show of same sex amorous relationship directly or indirectly in public and private.”

They argued that the present bill “appears to have a more limited purpose, but in fact perpetuates the same potential for serious human rights abuses.” They said the bill won’t serve any immediate purpose since Nigerians are not clamouring for it.

According to them, “marriage between persons of the same gender is not now legal in Nigeria, and there is no possibility of its recognition without specific state affirmation. , Imposing criminal penalties on this particular form of marital relationship is redundant. It can only be construed as an effort to further stigmatise relationships between persons of same gender-and to provide additional grounds for official harassment, arrests and persecutions of anyone even suspected of such a relationship,” they added.

Groups like Sexual Minorities Against Aids in Nigeria (SMAAN), BAOBAB for Women’s Human Rights, Amnesty International and Changing Attitude Nigeria all spoke against passage of the bill.

However, an overwhelming number of people at the public hearing, especially religious bodies, supported the enactment of the bill.

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in its presentation said it “strongly supports this bill and wants the members of the National Assembly to ensure that it is passed. Every country has its laws; there is nothing like a universal law and you see weird ways of life affecting our people negatively. Christians and Muslims are strongly against homosexuality.”

On its part, the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) said “same sex marriage is out to foist on the world a false sense of the family which will bring disastrous consequences to mankind.”

It added that “same sex marriage apart from being ungodly, it is unscriptural, unnatural, unprofitable, unhealthy, un-cultural, un-African and un-Nigerian. It is a perversion, a deviation and an aberration that is capable of engendering moral and social holocaust in this country. Outlawing it is to ensure the continued existence of this nation.”

Fellowship of Christian Patriots (FCP) for its part said “God in his infinite wisdom, made sex enjoyable in order to encourage indulgence in it, for the purpose of procreation and not merely for hedonistic pleasure.”

It added that bill was just like anti-suicide legislations: “Nobody accuses society of infringing the human rights of citizens when it outlaws suicide, which it does to protect the society from self-destroying itself.”

Meanwhile, a forum of civil societies and human right groups, the Coalition for the Defense of Sexual Right in Nigeria, has opposed any legislation by the National Assembly to prohibit and sanction people involved in same sex marriage.

Coordinator of the forum, Dorothy Aken’Ova, told journalists yesterday in Abuja that the bill before the House of Representatives, Same Gender Marriage (Prohibition) Bill 2008, is a distraction and an infringement on rights of individuals.

Before oil, Nigeria had oil. With oil were the crops groundnut (peanut), cocoa and rubber. These crops were cultivated in large quantities and exported to Europe and America in the pre-1960s and early ‘60s.

With military incursions into Nigerian government and the dependence of petroleum products as the foremost foreign exchange earner, attention to the agricultural sector dwindled. Nigeria’s groundnut pyramids disappeared, the oil palm plantations vanished and farming went back to a subsistent level. With a burgeoning population, it became increasingly difficult to feed the teeming masses and the country resorted to importing food to supplement the one grown at home.

Please SEUN, try and ensure some decorum in this forum. The idea of associating Saro Wiwa and militants doesn’t go down well with me and I believe any SANE mind would not do that. He fought for a just cause and was betrayed. Today where is SHELL, they have left their fields in Ogoniland. What is happening in the Niger Delta is far from the STRUGGLE I agree. Its mere criminality under the guise of emancipation of Niger Deltans and they are tagged militants.

My brothers and Sisters, all these problems are coming up because of prolonged neglect of the region by both the Federal and State Governments. And instead of empowering the youths to be self sufficient, you give them guns to help impose you on the people. What do you expect, for them to throw away the guns? No way. The same guns are now used for criminal activities all in the name of Niger Delta Struggle.


I’m a Niger Deltan and I must state hear categorically that what is going on within the Niger Delta is mere criminality and in no way close to the emancipation of our people.

Professor Nimi Briggs and Seinye Lulu-Briggs are they not Niger Deltans? But were still kidnapped.
I just hope one day everything will take its right place.
I am quite sure those at the venue were not militants

Midwestern Oil and Gas Company PLC is the Operator of Umusadege Field in Delta State.Their Technical/Financial Partners is Mart Resources Inc of Canada.Presently Mart Resources and its partners say that testing operations at the Umu-N2 well located in the Umusadege field have commenced.

So my fellow forumites,i strongly believe that the $200 is fraud cos they have started making money from their field .Maybe somebody is using the name of the company to defraud desperate jobseekers.Midwestern CAN NEVER ask for that amount for a job placement.

@WebJunior
Accept my condolence. Nigeria is a country where negligence on the part of hospitals is a common phenomenom.Imagine a dying patient being rushed to an hospital instead of being attended to,the nurses would first of all request for their hospital card money and would prefer to go through the process of filling the card before rushing the person to the emergency room-too bad.The medical guys in the house what is Nigeria Medical Association(NMA) doing as regards this negligence on the part of hospitals staffs in general?We are losing more and more people to the cold hands of death just because of negligence.This and many other things contribute to the reason why people prefer to travel out for treatment for even a minor dislocation- as far as there's money to cater for the expenses.This is our country and we must show positive attitude towards things and also remember that we (Nigerians) are the only ones to make this country great.

Hi nana, i don't need a quickie though.I need a friend,guess you don't mind.
